Bonds Street priority parking refused

Separate schemes at Aberfoyle Crescent and at Alexander Terrace in Strabane has also been refused.

Roads Minister Danny Kennedy listed the schemes amongst those refused due to their not meeting criteria set down by Road Service.

Mr Kennedy previously stated that new legislation to give residents of the Bogside priority parking will be in place by mid to late 2013.

Back in 2010 Mr Kennedy’s predecessor Conor Murphy said a second scheme similar to the one in the Bogside and including the Fountain was under consideration.

He stated: “It is hoped that, subject to further public consultation, the scheme can be fully implemented by mid-2011. Proposals for a second scheme encompassing the Bishop Street, Fountain and Abercorn Road areas of Derry are under consideration.”
